Oct 29th 2020, SE Australia.
Managed to get two pics of the Sun this morning before it clouded in.
Both single exposures with a Canon 550d camera of the Sun's SW quadrant and AR 2778.
Orange pic is thru a Lunt 100 Ha (SS) scope and shows some flaring around the sunspots.
Yellow pic is thru a WO 81 scope at 540 nm to show the sunspot group better.
Thanks for viewing,
Regards all, John W.

John,
How did you manage to get those DSLR shots to turn out so well? White light is not so bad but I have never really been successful at getting good shots of the disk detail.

James.
